Reality Used To Be A Friend Of Mine Lyrics - Pm Dawn

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Maybe 'Why?' is the question that's on you mind 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Please don't ask me 'cause I don't know why 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

I used to be friends with reality 

She used to be a pal real close to me 

But she tried to hide from me what was in store 

Tried to house me but a house has doors 

I was insane and the picture was crazy 

So the relevance here seems to be a bit hazy 

But I tried to explain this in the simplest terms 

She let the cross burn and it was my turn to say 

"The roses are red, and violets are blue 

And things are gonna stay that way, too" 

And I was the nut to believe all of this 

I figured life would just hand me bliss 

Now I have to worry about certain doom 

Or will I be here tomorrow afternoon? 

Now ask me about the future 

[Incomprehensible] 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Maybe 'Why?' is the question that's on you mind 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Please don't ask me 'cause I don't know why 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

I remember Sandy gave me a hand 

Now I'm known as the maniac man 

Looking and searching for a shred of proof 

Knowing any time this world could go poof 

Now what might happen without me knowin' 

That's why I find myself always tip-tip toeing 

She tried to let prophecy sneak up on me 

But I woke up, I told her "Yo step off me" 

What you want me to do? You want me to sweat blood 

And hang up on your strings like a marionette does? 

Go to the PM on the dock of the bay, sit 

You need a clue, go back to the basics 

She needs to learn her ABC's 

Her and I sail on different seas 

She sees different from what I sees 

Do you believe? Hells no 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Maybe 'Why?' is the question that's on you mind 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Please don't ask me 'cause I don't know why 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

I lost touch with reality 

I keep it as far as I can from Prince Be 

I just didn't run with the way she flowed 

To where I just said "Yo, I gots to go" 

But my heart wasn't ill or mad at her 

I just chose to laugh at her 

And disregard everything she tells me 

Believe in her and she's happy and healthy 

What is real, a positive plane 

Reality and life are not the same 

As to her equivalence to what is real 

She doesn't appeal to how I feel 

Maybe I should try trans channeling her 

Prince, you're taking this trip to far 

Okay, fine, never mind 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Maybe 'Why?' is the question that's on you mind 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Reality used to be a friend of mine 

Please don't ask me 'cause I don't know why 

But reality used to be a friend of mine 

Oh reality 

Oh reality 

Chase the blues away 

Take your mind off reality and leave her alone 

Chase the blues away 

Take your mind off reality and leave her alone 

Chase the blues away 

Take your mind off reality and leave her alone 

Chase the blues away 

Take your mind off reality and leave her alone 

Chase the blues away 

Take your mind off reality and leave her alone 

Chase the blues away 

Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
